Heya Owen, Quickly off the top of my head: I believe that one can reset the OpenID association *if* an email address is linked to the account. I think that's stored as a separate field in the backend of Askbot, but don't quote me on that :P Mucking around in the GUI to the backend to try to re-associate a new OpenID provider with an account is painful, to say the least. If there's no email association, once the OpenID provider goes away, I don't believe there's any other mechanism for authentication a particular account and an individual, so then it's just guesswork or the do-we-know-this-contributor-already?-game. Aside from eventual goals to have our own SSO provider, I just suggest that people stick with OpenID sites they trust to remain afloat; Google or UbuntuONE are both (probably) pretty safe bets.
